WatchKit and Core Location Not Requesting User Permission

I cannot get location services on WatchOS 4 to request user permission.

My info.plist with privacy usage description in WatchKit Extension is above.

My code is below. When it is run, no authorization is requested and I don't get any location updates.

private let locationManager = CLLocationManager()

override func willActivate() {
super.willActivate()

locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager.delegate = self
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()

}
func locationServicesAuthorizationStatus(_ status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
switch status {
case .notDetermined:
print("LocationServicesAuthorizationStatus: .notdetermined")
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationServicesStateNotDetermined()
case .restricted, .denied:
print("LocationServicesAuthorizationStatus: .restricted, .denied")
locationServicesStateUnavailable()
case .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse:
print("LocationServicesAuthorizationStatus: .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse")
locationServicesStateAvailable(status)
}
}

func locationServicesStateAvailable(_ status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {

switch status {
case .authorizedAlways:
print("Always in Use Granted")
locationManager.requestLocation()
case .authorizedWhenInUse:
print("When in Use Granted")

default:
break
}
}
func locationServicesStateUnavailable() {
print("Location Services unavailable")

}
func locationServicesStateNotDetermined() {
print("In Handle Not Determined")
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}


I am not using the iPhone app location services. I only want to use the WatchOS core location.

The remainder of my location services is implemented as an extension:

extension InterfaceController: CLLocationManagerDelegate {

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
print("nlocation obtainedn")

let altitudeString = Altitude(tofeet: locations[0].altitude)

NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "GetLocationRequest"), object: self, userInfo: ["altitude":altitudeString.inLocalUnits])
print("n 1.0 *** location update (Using locationManager.requestLocation) from watch location manager: (locations) n")

}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print(error.localizedDescription)
print("n Request for Location Failed. Location Services may try again")

}
